I enjoyed this film. I liked it when I first saw it years ago, and I liked it this time. I do have to say there are things about it that I noticed now that I'm older, that I didn't like, but overall the story was really good. The end especially was very memorable. The creatures were scary but reminded me of Hellraiser's cenobytes (not a bad thing), and I thought the killer clown could have and should have been scarier, more threatening. I was very upset that they somehow forgot that the little girls portraying the main characters had bright, bright green/blue eyes as kids, but as adults one has brown eyes and one blue- a totally different shade. The whole "I'm going insane" idea I do love, however, and that is what made me like the movie so much.

It's hard to find a remake that actually does justice to the original,but this one is almost downright insulting.Thre story has very little,if anything,to do with the one of the original.And whos idea was it to cast Larry Miller as the bad guy ?He is so terribly miscast.One thing I noticed about all the positive reviews is that they say the movie should be considered a 'drama' instead of horror.Please tell me,why name it after a horror movie if it's supposed to be a drama ? I would never believe a 40 year old original could still outdo a modern remake but apparently it can.

It's such a shame that the memory of the first, groundbreaking film, a gripping -- though super cheapie -- exploration of anomie and the subconscious, is in any way associated with this film, which I guess you have to say is not in any way a remake, although it appears that the filmmakers wanted to capitalize on the goodwill the original has accumulated over the years.So sad, it's too bad.I think the time is right to consider a remake of the original, but it's certainly not this misbegotten error. I would see an independent filmmaker -- maybe Inarritu or Guillermo del Toro -- taking the original story and really making a haunting re-visioning of the first film. But this ain't it.

I think that this is without a doubt the worst movie i have ever seen Whatever happened to the Nightmare On Elm St brilliance? Freddy is the king!!. I can honestly say that there is nothing at all worthwhile about this movie. Sorta creepy in a way but only for a short while. I have never turned off a movie before the end ever .. until now Wat was Wes Craven doing at the time i will never know - in fact I'm starting to think he didn't direct it at all - Not with the brilliance of Freddy Kruger could he achieve this masterpiece of crap Risk watching it if u are incredibly bored and even then i still wouldn't watch it
